My modelling days are over as my sight is deteriorating, 5th injection in right eye expected on Friday. I've listed a number of figures on eBay (UK only as postage is too high for EU)More will follow plus Pepper 7 items and O-16.5 as well as O gauge rolling stock and maybe Locos.

So sorry to hear that Gerry. I have enjoyed following your modelling exploits and viewing several of your fascinating and entertaining layouts over the past 8 or 9 years. I do hope you will still continue to be able to get some enjoyment from the hobby even though you may not actively be able to continue modelling.

I agree. I hope you don't leave the hobby entirely. Even if you can't make things any more, it is still fun to play with the stuff. I thoroughly enjoy your work. I have recently been exploring ancient threads of yours.

Thanks guys, anno domini I'm afraid nothing I or, currently, medics can do anything about.Just hoping good eye doesn't go same way too soon (which it will) then I can't drive.Attending my last show as an exhibitor on the 20th @ Shepton Mallet.

So sorry to hear that, Gerry. I've always liked your work, and you and Richard Andrews are the reason I initially jumped into the world of GN15, when I took on Ruggin Manor Peat Works (as a confirmed 009 modeller!). Followed by the encouragement and products of one Steve Bennett it continues to be a great decision.

Hoping Gerry won't put out too many expletives at a slight hijack of his thread but I too was at Stafford enjoying Chard Creamery, which I first saw last year (or was it the year before? ) at the big Gauge 0 Guild jamboree at Telford.

For those that don't know the layout it is about 42" long and consists of three sidings plus a 30" sector plate as a fiddle yard; thus no points. A very nice way of getting quite a lot of operational and scenic interest into a small space IMHO.
